Well, it seems that for the third time I think, an interesting thread has been closed just because the way I reply to a young boy called 900nm (chances are great that's the reason).
I've got no idea at all why this guy acts like that! For several months he was in my MSN "buddies" and we talked a lot, exchanged views, ideas (he's got some good ones) and I did my best to provide him good advices (when I could, I'm not Steve Forte) about gambling (unlike me he doesn't play for real) or techniques (again, when I could, he's not that bad and I'm mainly a stacker and a second dealer). All of a sudden he has decided to insult me and to track me through the web trying to demean me, to reveal what principles I use and so on. Really a pain in the ass! Again, I don't know the reason. It's really annoying to see posts deleted or cancelled in this part of the Magic Café because, IMHO, there are interesting things to grab from time to time. Hence, my apologizes. In the future I'll try to ignore his stupid behaviour (he's 18 some may think we can forgive). I'll use a private website to exchange videos just write me to get a private access when needed. Let's go back to the table! |

What an exciting story.
Well, I've seen 900nm's videos and I find he's good. He also offers some interesting ideas through his vids. |

Well, is the thread locked or deleted? It still shows up, but the link gives me an error message?
Why can't a thread just be locked around here? It happens all the time in other forums, like "the Workers". Here in Gamblers they get deleted entirely, which doesn't make sense: how are we supposed to learn to avoid our mistakes if we can't see what we did wrong? |

It's probably because it was loaded with YouTube links. I believe video links are supposed to go in a different forum, and have seen posts containing them moved before.
I doubt it had anything to do with AMcD. It's likely that management is moving the video links to the other forum, and discovering that the rest of the thread makes little or no sense without the video links in place! The question arises though, based on some posts here and comments made in the past, how much interest would there be in a dedicated and relatively unmoderated forum on card and dice advantage play, cheating, etc? There have been efforts before to get forums going, none have reached any great success. Folks still seem to gravitate here to the Café, and stay away from other forums. The Genii Forum is pointless because the management there thinks they know everything about everything, and ride herd even more than they do here. There's an Erdnase forum set up over at the Conjuring Research Center that nobody uses, but that's set up nicely. And then Mr. Pinks forum saw limited use, but was offline more than it was online, and cost money to use, which turned off quite a few users. It seems that no matter what comes along in terms of forums, folks interested in this type of conversation still do whatever posting they feel inclined to do here on the Café. |

But if it's in the context of a thread, why mess with it? That thread had some nice videos and it was nice to have them all in one place. And there were comments that referred to video in other posts. Besides the fact that some people don't want theri stuff in the "You Ought To Be In Pictures" section, or even the "Workers". They want to keep the gambling stuff seperate from all of that. It's a stupid policy. I wish they at least had a moderator that understood the sensibilities of the people in this section.

You don't get to see them, you don't get to speak to them, they do their work without explaining or justifying any of it. To have a moderator who understands the sensibilities of various sections would probably require they involve themselves in some way with the community. On many boards I have read the moderators for each section are clearly identified. On the Café they are not. I find that rather telling. It's not just that they won't tell us what's being done that shouldn't, it's not that they even don't want any argument about it, it's that they don't even want anyone at all to know who they are and where they've been. I find it pretty sad, to be perfectly honest. It won't make me stop reading the forum, but it certainly makes it less friendly, to my mind. |

But I've never gotten anything realted to the fixes they do over in this area. And honestly, I think we do a pretty good job of monitoring ourselves here. You don't see a lot of the goofy political and religious stuff that people seem to drag in to threads everywhere else. We screw around, but overall we play pretty nice. Once in a while a guy gets his ears boxed a little bit. But it's mild. Very, very mild. I don't see a need for a lot of the editing.

Mr. Bones has some interesting stuff, nothing earth shattering, but interesting.

I joined it. Looks like it's brand new. Threw up a little dice video as well to kick things off. Anyone who wants to tear down my technique will have to join to see it.

I joined it myself, but have to get vetted first before I can tear down your video.

Go easy on me. I don't think they have moderators over there to protect me.
I got vetted quick. "Mr Bones" was online when I joined up.

I like the idea. It's always tough to start a new site, and the Café is a bit of a 800lb gorilla. But maybe it will take off.

Ha! Not really.
Except for the fact that I don't care about what they do in any other section. I just wish they would give us a break now and then. There isn't that much to "moderate" around here. And as with every other section, there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to a lot of it.
